203. Besides, all children in heaven are led to the acknowledgment of the Divine Human of the Lord - and also all adults who have lived in a life of charity are instructed concerning this, and those who receive [the teaching] come into heaven - all the angels in heaven, too, perceive that this is so, and the higher they are in the heavens, the more clearly do they perceive this. For, no one there is able to think in any other way. The reason is that the whole heaven is the Divine Human, and every thought falls in line with the form of heaven. Concerning this, let there be quoted what is written in the work, HEAVEN AND HELL.
